Over the past several decades, a vibrant scholarly community has generated thousands of empirical and conceptual studies on the complex relationship between business and the natural environment. At the same time, many large corporations have created positions of Corporate Sustainability Officer with the goal of achieving steady improvements in their sustainability performance. Despite substantial academic research and management attention, complex ecological challenges continue to grow. This unfortunate disconnect between aspirations and reality has begun to provoke some self-reflection in the business and natural environment literature concerning its impact and relevance.
A significant body of research on corporate sustainability has examined win-win outcomes, where firms have reduced their environmental and other impacts while reaping economic benefits. Less attention has been devoted to tensions inherent in corporate sustainability, where moving in the direction of sustainability has required managers to change their business models, form risky partnerships, and otherwise incur net costs. Recent empirical business history research appears to show that profits and sustainability have been hard to reconcile throughout history. These tensions and conflicts merit careful examination from a variety of scholarly and practitioner perspectives.
This conference will focus on the roadblocks to sustainability since the 1960s and develop a research agenda for scholars seeking to overcome those roadblocks. In addition to offering a retrospective analysis of where corporate sustainability has fallen short, the conference will explore the incentives, organizational designs, and institutional systems that would allow sustainability to take hold.

Medical journalist talks about history of – and problem with – embargos
Author Michelle BrandtPublished on July 29, 2013 December 19, 2017
Having not come from a science background, I admit to not knowing much (okay, anything) about embargos before coming to work here. I quickly learned the drill, though: Scientific journals set a designated time/date in which the media can run stories on a particular study - in an effort (in the words of my wise colleague Krista Conger) "to give media professionals enough time to prepare a thoughtful, well-researched story about the research without giving any media outlet a competitive advantage over another."
Things have changed in the decade-plus since I first learned about this system (some journals are now embargo-free), but embargos are still very much in use - and breaking them is serious business. So I took great interest in a recent Communication Breakdown Q&A on the topic with journalist/Embargo Watch founder Ivan Oransky, MD, who says he's been "obsessed with embargos" for years. In the Q&A, Oransky provides more background on the embargo system and discusses why he's in favor of changing it:
The Ingelfinger Rule, which I'm now convinced is the real problem with the embargo system, was a policy then-New England Journal of Medicine editor-in-chief Franz Ingelfinger came up with in 1969. He didn't call it that at the time, and it has evolved since, but the basic idea was that some researchers were going straight to the media with their "breakthroughs," bypassing peer review and causing a lot of confusion and false hope. So he decreed that NEJM wouldn't consider any papers whose results had already been publicized, whether in the mass media or other journals.
It's important to remember that history because the fact is that Ingelfinger had a legitimate concern, and came up with a reasonable way to address it. The problem in the time since then is that the Ingelfinger Rule has become a gag order. Scientists are deathly afraid of talking to reporters, because it might jeopardize their publication in a prestigious journal. That fear is actually out of proportion to policies at major journals. But until it changes, it makes it very difficult for journalists to tell the real stories of science – which focusing on the study of the week, as the Ingelfinger Rule, aided and abetted by embargoes, encourages...

When you visit an exceptional dental clinic like Pro Care Dentistry, you will be seen by one of our dentists. These healthcare professionals treat their clients like family, and their dentist office like a second home. We strive for ultimate comfort and support during your visit, where we will take care of any oral problem you may encounter, or just perform your regularly scheduled cleaning! Your oral health is our top priority, and we are eager to answer any questions you have and demonstrate our dedication to patients like you in the Golf, Florida area.
Dentistry for Children is more than just a practice, it is our passion. A child's dentist plays a crucial role in preventative care. A good kid's dentist can establish interest in personal care and keep children excited about coming to keep their teeth strong and healthy! Comfort, compassion, and patience, is what our dentists here at Pro Care Dentistry pride themselves in. Every child is different, but the goal is always the same. We want to see every child have optimal dental health so they can show off their beautiful smiles. There's nothing more wonderful than a child's joy.
Dentures are an artificial replacement for missing teeth and the surrounding tissue. These removable restoration teeth are designed to look completely natural, and in some cases, can even improve your smile! Dental false teeth are available in two forms: Partial or Complete dentures. Partial dentures are customized to patients who have natural teeth remaining in the upper or lower jaw. Complete dentures give a natural smile to a someone who has lost all their teeth.
A Dental implant is a restoration procedure to a single tooth missing from one's smile. An oral surgeon positions a metal post into the jaw, then replacement tooth is attached. This is a long-term solution to keep teeth from shifting or to provide a perfect smile.
Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic procedure. Pro Care Dentistry can provide this service to enhance the appearance of stained or discolored teeth. This is a painless treatment that dramatically changes the aesthetic of one's smile.
A root canal specialist at Pro Care Dentistry can repair damage to your teeth. A root canal is specifically damage that has reached the pulp (or gums) of your mouth. This can cause patients tremendous pain, as the cavity has reached a nerve. Signs of this damage include sensitivity to hot or cold foods, or a sharp pain while eating or applying pressure. Regular cleaning's and check-ups can prevent this problem, but in any stage of damage, there is a health care professional to help.
Cosmetic dental surgery is a process to repair a patient's smile for appearance and function. Cosmetic dentistry can allow patient's more comfort, stability and brilliance. Procedures range from tooth whitening to Veneers. No matter the process, Pro Care Dentistry provides a solution catered to you!
This dental procedure involves placing a covering over a visible tooth. Because they are usually a cosmetic practice, Veneers are recommended for teeth that are visible while smiling or speaking. A replacement tooth is bonded to a patient's permanent tooth after an impression is taken. This ensures a personalized smile for every patient at Pro Care Dentistry.
A dentist promotes healthy teeth and gums. So, when a patient's gums aren't healthy, they jeopardize the foundation of your whole mouth. Indicators of unhealthy gums include easily bleeding gums, persistently bad breath, loose teeth, or changes in a patient's bite. Gum tissue can be restored with our treatment, but preventative health is always recommended. Gum cleanings and flossing can help keep gums from getting infected.
A dentist orthodontist specializes in the process of straightening teeth. Otherwise known as braces, this procedure can realign a patient's bite which improves dental health. Your teeth and jaw can be affected by its very shape, and may make it harder to clean certain teeth or have your teeth sit comfortably. Braces have various benefits, from cosmetic purposes for a brilliant smile, to major readjustments of the oral foundation.
We at Pro Care Dentistry hold our surgeons to the highest standard. Our patient's overall oral health is always our top priority, and our specialists treat every solution with care. Everyone deserves a great dental experience. Our oral surgeons will give you the best results for your perfect smile.
At Pro Care Dentistry, you're more than just a patient, you're family. Contact us today for a consultation.

Carey and Emerald for The Los Angeles Times
Written by Elise on January 07 2021
LA Times – There's a bouncy, open quality about their conversation on a late November morning, something that Mulligan says began with their first meeting. At the time, Mulligan had an impressive résumé in film, TV and theater and a 2009 lead actress Oscar nomination for "An Education,"  whereas Fennell was the showrunner on Season 2 of "Killing Eve" and occasional actress (currently giving serrated edge to Camilla Parker Bowles on the latest season of "The Crown").
Photoshoots & Portraits > 2021 > Session 01 [+01]
Fennell's only directing credit at that point was on a 13-minute short called "Careful How You Go." She appealed to Mulligan with a digital mood board, a bubbly female-only pop song playlist and a script that was sometimes funny, often unsettling and 100% tricky to pull off.
[…] It's one of those "she can do anything" performances, especially because Mulligan has a natural modesty about her — in real life, she sends notes before photo shoots requesting that she not be asked to wear anything too skimpy or tight-fitting — and that she's best known for breathing life into fragile women of prior eras.
"Ten minutes in, I knew I just trusted her," says Mulligan. "Emerald is so intelligent and has such a specific, brilliant sense of humor and also is completely in command of things in a way that's really appealing to an actor. I knew she could pull it off. It felt like a tightrope walk. But it felt like no risk at all. It was more like, 'This is going to be awesome.'"
[…] "There's a practical component to making your first film, which is that you're not going to have a lot of money or time," says Fennell, who shot the movie in Los Angeles in 23 days. She did everything she could to carve out entire days in the schedule for scenes where Cassie drops her falling-down-drunk act, sits up and sharply confronts the men attempting to assault her, guys who actually consider themselves honorable. […] "I wanted [Mulligan and the actors] to be able to face off with each other," says Fennell, who encouraged her cast of bar habitués — Adam Brody, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Sam Richardson — to improvise within the scene but only after offering a key piece of direction: "I want you to imagine yourself as the hero in a romantic comedy."

Abhishek Kapoor itching to return to sets
Mar 1, 2013 IANS
Mumbai, March 1 (IANS) Director Abhishek Kapoor is not at all exhausted after putting in four years to make "Kai Po Che". He is itching to get back to the sets as soon as possible.
"I have ants in my pants, as you call it, to get back to a set and start a film as soon as I can. But it can only happen once a story is in hand," Kapoor said here Thursday at the success party of the film.
However, a sequel to "Kai Po Che" is not a part of his plans.
"One story takes a lot of toll on you, so I'd like something new. May be a sequel happens later," he said.
Meanwhile, author Chetan Bhagat, whose book "The 3 Mistakes of my Life" was adapted by Kapoor for "Kai Po Che", says he cannot take any credit for the film's success.
"I got my credit five years back when the book released in 2008 and it became a bestseller. I had my glory then. Today I am only lucky to be a part of this team. The credit goes to Abhishek, he is the captain of the ship and then the actors," Bhagat said here.
"It's like asking a cricketer how much credit will you take for the team's win. They play for the country and we play for the film," he added.
"Kai Po Che" features Sushant Singh Rajput, Raj Kumar Yadav, Amit Sadh and Amrita Puri. It has received a positive response since its release Feb 22.

Rivadavia es una localidad del noroeste de la Argentina, en la provincia de Salta. Es cabecera del departamento homónimo.

Ubicación
Se encuentra a 387 km de la ciudad de Salta, capital de la provincia.
El departamento de Rivadavia está organizado en tres Municipios: Pilcomayo (Santa Victoria Este), Rivadavia Banda Norte (Morillo) y Rivadavia Banda Sur ( con tres centros urbanos: La Unión, Santa Rosa y Rivadavia)
Santa Victoria Este se conecta con la RP 13, que comunica al municipio con el resto de la provincia a través de 145 km de camino de ripio en regular a mal estado a pesar del esfuerzo por mantenerlo.
Rivadavia Banda Sur se encuentra a 400 km(aprox) de la ciudad de Salta y se puede llegar por dos vías diferentes, la más utilizada es por la Ruta 34 hasta antes de llegar a San Pedro ( S.S de Jujuy) para tomar la vía que conduce a La Estrella. La segunda es por camino de tierra desde Las Lajitas.

Población
Contaba con 8.126 familias que corresponden a 30.449 habitantes según el último CENSO 2010. Datos INDEC

La población está integrada por habitantes de Pueblos Originarios y Criollos.

Fiesta Patronal
 Señor y Virgen de los Milagros, 15 de septiembre

Se accede a Rivadavia por la RP 13, que desde La Estrella comunica al municipio con el resto de la Provincia a través de 144 km de camino enripiado en mal estado a pesar de los esfuerzos por mantenerlos, debido principalmente a la permanente afluencia de camiones que transportan madera talada en el monte chaqueño.

Un problema que enfrenta el ambiente de Rivadavia es la deforestación debido, fundamentalmente, a la extracción de los diversos tipos de madera que encuentra en la zona. Por la tala indiscriminada especies como el quebracho blanco y el colorado, la tipa, algarrobo, palo santo, palo amarillo se encuentran en peligro de desaparecer, añadiéndose una alteración en el medio y perjudica a los pueblos originarios que dependen de él para su subsistencia.
Las sequías de los años 2011 al 2013 demostraron el fuerte impacto del cambio climático y afecta a la población en general, pero sobre todo a las comunidades originarias Wichi debido a su vulnerabilidad y principalmente porque sus recursos naturales de subsistencia se están viendo afectados, muchas especies nativas están desapareciendo.

Río Teuquito o Bermejito

La localidad de Rivadavia fue fundada a orillas del río Bermejo, pero en el último tercio del siglo XX éste cambió su curso y ocupa un cauce muchos kilómetros al norte, el río Teuco. El antiguo cauce, ahora llamado río Bermejito o Teuquito, aún corre 1,5 km al sur de Rivadavia, pero su caudal es muy variable: en invierno y primavera usualmente está seco, mientras en verano y otoño lleva aguas procedentes del río Bermejo, del cual hace las veces de aliviador, y de los ríos Del Valle y Dorado, procedentes de la zona de Apolinario Saravia, produciendo en ocasiones grandes crecientes.

No obstante, estos aportes de verano y la gran cantidad de sedimentos que aportan generan la formación de madrejones que funcionan como reservas de agua, que permiten el abastecimiento de agua durante la época seca tanto para animales como para los pobladores de la zona.

Clima

Registro récord de calor

La localidad ostenta un registro récord climático: el 11 de diciembre de 1905 los termómetros marcaron una temperatura de 48,9 °C (120,0 °F). Unos años más tarde, el 2 de enero de 1920, dicho record caería ante el registro de una nueva marca, la cual se produce en la localidad de Villa María del río Seco (provincia de Córdoba) donde se registraron 49,1 °C convirtiéndose, esta última, en la temperatura más alta alguna vez registrada en América del Sur  Récords meteorológicos en Argentina

El clima de Rivadavia es del tipo clima semiárido cálido (BSh) , de acuerdo con la clasificación climática de Köppen.

Fauna
En esta localidad se descubrió una nueva especie de garrapata: Amblyomma boeroi, que parasita al chancho quimilero, una de las tres especies de pecaríes que habitan en el distrito occidental de la provincia fitogeográfica del Chaco.

IAEA Confirms Receiving Iran Letter On Proposed Nuclear Fuel Swap
May 24, 2010 10:37 GMT Updated May 24, 2010 11:29 GMT
President Mahmud Ahmadinejad made the deal with Iran and Turkey last week.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) says it has been formally notified by Iran of a proposed deal to swap of some of Iran's enriched uranium for nuclear reactor fuel.
The swap deal was brokered by Brazil and Turkey. It calls for Iran to send more than half of its low-enriched uranium to Turkey in exchange for nuclear fuel rods.
But the proposal falls short of a compromise deal suggested last year in which Iran also would be obliged to stop its uranium-enrichment activities.
The IAEA said it would pass Iran's letter on to the United States, France, and Russia "for their consideration."
Washington has treated the deal with skepticism and gone ahead with introducing a draft sanctions resolution to the UN Security Council.
Ali Asghar Soltanieh, Iran's envoy to the IAEA, said today that Iran's decision to continue enriching uranium to higher levels "is not the issue."
He said Iran would abandon the swap deal if the UN Security Council approves fresh sanctions.

Stop Others from Pretending to Be You [PHIL-OSOPHY]
Tim Weisberg/Townsquare Media
Someone pretending to be me reached out to a lot of my friends on Facebook and requested friendship. Those who know me immediately knew that someone else was pretending to be me.
It's not a new problem, but it is widespread and Facebook will be glad to remove them once you contact them.
Knowing how to report this is what I'm going to show you here, and feel free to share it with your friends. Facebook understands that personal accounts and pages that impersonate other people go against their standards and it's simply not tolerated. If you see an account that's pretending to be you, someone you know, or a public figure, let the folks at Facebook know.
The first thing to determine is if you're reporting a profile or a page.

Q: Calculating odds ratios between deciles of data in R Similar to: How to calculate and plot odds-ratios and their standard errors from a logistic regression in R?
But I would like to plot the Phenotypes separately in the plot.
Data (subset of 20,000 similar lines):
ID  PHENO  SCORE
1     1    -0.001
2     1     0.132
3     1     0.023
4     0    -0.20032
5     1    -0.002
6     0     0.012
7     1    -0.23
8     0     0.321
9     0    -0.21
10    0    -0.497

I have then run a glm logistic model on this data
I would like to put the scores into deciles or some meaningful division and then work out the Odds ratio of having the phenotype (1 is having the disease, 0 is controls) per division of score , ideally between cases and control, using R.
To decile I do:
library(dplyr)

#place each value into a decile
data$decile <- ntile(data, 10)

I then follow the question above but wanted the plot to show the cases and controls separately.
I would like to end up with an image like below (with case(1) vs control(0) from the PHENO column:

Any help would be appreciated.

A: First of all, I generated some random data to make it more reproducible. First, you could make your target and deciles a factor. To extract the odds ratios and confidence intervals, you could use coef and confint with exp. After you can take the mean of each ID and PHENO of your results. To create the graph you can use geom_pointrange like this:
# Generate random data
set.seed(7)
data <- data.frame(ID = rep(c(1:10), 2000),
                   PHENO = sample(c(0,1), replace=TRUE, size=20000),
                   SCORE = rnorm(20000, 0, 1))

library(dplyr)
library(ggplot2)
#place each value into a decile
data <- data %>% mutate(decile = ntile(SCORE, 10))
# convert PHENO and decile to factor
data$PHENO <- as.factor(data$PHENO)
data$decile <- as.factor(data$decile)

# model
fit <- glm(PHENO ~ decile, data=data, family='binomial')

# Extract odds ratio with intervals
results <- as.data.frame(exp(cbind(coef(fit), confint(fit))))
#> Waiting for profiling to be done...
# Change columnames results dataframe
colnames(results) <- c('odds_ratio', '2.5', '97.5')
# Add id column
results$ID <- c(1:10)

# Join data and results dataframe
data <- left_join(data, results, by = 'ID')

# Take mean
data_sum <- data %>%
  group_by(decile, PHENO) %>%
  summarise(odds_ratio = mean(odds_ratio),
            `2.5` = mean(`2.5`),
            `97.5` = mean(`97.5`))
#> `summarise()` has grouped output by 'decile'. You can override using the
#> `.groups` argument.

# plot
ggplot(data_sum, aes(x = decile, y = odds_ratio, ymin = `2.5`, ymax = `97.5`, color = PHENO, shape = PHENO)) +
  geom_pointrange(position = position_dodge(width = 0.4)) +
  scale_color_manual(values = c('blue', 'green')) +
  scale_shape_manual(values = c(18, 16)) +
  guides(shape = 'none') +
  theme_classic() +
  labs(x = 'Decile', y = 'Odds ratio', color = '')

What Jesus Says to a Complacent Church
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
A Tolerant Church
Revelation 2 describes 7 churches - Ephesus was a busy church, Smyrna was a suffering church, Pergamum was a confused church and the church in Thyatira; it was a tolerant church.
Thyatira was on an important trade route. Most of the trading that went on there was strong and growing. But there was a hitch for the local church. To survive economically at that time and to have a job it was really necessary to be a part of a trade guild - a bit like a union. That wouldn't have been so bad, except if you belonged to a guild, you were required to participate in banquets hosted by the guilds. And these banquets were legendary for their immorality.
Can you see some similarities today? Where the cultural path to living, to just putting food on the table and a roof over our head brings tension with our Christian life?
The encouragement of this letter is that – we not "drop our guard"; especially in light of the promise - "I will give (to the ones who hold fast) the morning star!" (Revelation 2:28)

A Look At The Walking Dead- Season 9 Premiere: "A New Beginning"
Posted on October 8, 2018 by omarid513
A new beginning. A new showrunner. A new character. Don't get too attached to that last one, though.
It has certainly been an interesting last few months as far as the world of The Walking Dead is concerned. Andrew Lincoln and Lauren Cohan are departing, new showrunner Angela Kang promising a return to form for the zombie series, and a time skip that takes us forward after the events of All Out War. Obviously the exit of Rick is the big question on people's minds, but we will cross that bridge when we get to it.
Let's jump forward in time in the world of The Walking Dead with the Season 9 premiere, "A New Beginning."
The season begins with life anew at Alexandria. As Rick spots Michonne helping an older Judith with her painting of the entire community, he asks who the grumpy face is. It's you, Rick. The three head out into a clearing and watch the birds fly overhead. They are quite loud.
Then we jump over to the Sanctuary, where Regina shoos away birds that are pecking at the crops. Daryl is also here, but Laura needs him for something. Outside, Arat and another Savior have set up a walker to scare away the birds. Fair enough, but Daryl kills the walker anyway.
On the road, Tara receives a transmission from Eugene, who tells her that the crops are done at the Sanctuary. Daryl's requesting a run into the city, so everyone will meet at the rally point. Aaron and Jesus receive the transmission while talking care of walkers on the road, though Aaron wants Jesus to teach him some of his moves.
Luckily, Jesus is teaching a children's class at the Hilltop- Maggie will be there as well. Sometimes Carol shows up when she's in town.
As Aaron receives a transmission, we join Daryl on the road as he passes by Jerry on a bridge. Turns out that he's on his way to meet up with, Rick, Michonne, and the rest of the gang as they head into the desolate city that is Washington, D.C.- I mean, as they head into Washington, D.C.
They head into an art museum and start sweeping through for any sign of life. Since everyone has their lists, they're to spread out, find what they need, and circle back when they're done. And most importantly: be safe. I think people got that at this point, Rick.
Anyway, Michonne and Ezekiel split off in one pair, Carol and Maggie in another. They approach a glass floor and tread carefully, as walkers roam underneath. Oh, and because we have to have someone from Oceanside here, Cyndie is also present. A walker soon falls from overhead and lands on the glass, but it's not enough to break it, luckily.
They head into a dark corner of the museum, where Siddiq is grabbed by a walker that has spiders and all manner of creepy-crawlies crawling out of it. He does manage to kill it, though. Siddiq doesn't like spiders. Keep that in mind.
While Jadis and Gabriel are more enraptured by the museum's exhibits, Daryl helps Cyndie move a canoe. She's been thinking about her brother and how they used to fight during the canoe ride at the county fair. It's funny how random things bring up memories like that.
She asks if that's ever happened with Daryl, but most of his memories with Merle involved fighting. But he had friends that fought with him who wanted to be here, but didn't make it.
Alright, enough of that. Based on Jadis' knowledge, she leads Rick and Gabriel to a spot in the museum containing seeds, as she remembered it from a class she taught. They ransack the drawers for all that they can find.
Meanwhile, Maggie tells Michonne and Carol that Gregory called for an election at the Hilltop. Presumably, he lost, but hey, it's a sign of the democratic process returning. It's certainly different than Carol's situation, given that she lives with a king. Michonne comes to a stop when she eyes a Civil War exhibit, but the three finally find something that the Hilltop's blacksmith can use.
Everyone regroups to move the wagon down the stairs, but this involves moving it over that glass spot on the floor, so you can imagine that everyone now needs to be extra careful. Though they take their precious time, the glass does start to crack. Still, the wagon is successfully moved, so Rick goes back to help Daryl move the canoe.
The glass finally cracks and Ezekiel is the unlucky one to fall through, but he's still attached to a rope, so everyone pulls him back up before the walkers can feast.
With that said, it's time to pack up and leave D.C.
On the road, Alden makes it known to Ken, played by AJ Achinger, that Marco wants to learn the trade, so he needs to know if his father will take on another apprentice. He can't tell if he likes him, though, but he could probably use the extra help.
Behind them, Ezekiel tells Carol how afraid he was back at the art museum. As was she, so she's glad he's fine, but this made Ezekiel remember something he's been taking for granted. With that, he presents a ring- that I guess he just had- and asks Carol to marry him. But Carol has told him once before not to ask. More than that, they're on horses right now, so this doesn't really work.
I can't say I disagree with Carol's rationale. Anyway, that's fine, but Ezekiel still loves Carol and he'll hold onto the ring until she's ready to say yes.
However, there's a problem: the bridge is now gone due to a herd that crossed through. They can still get to Alexandria from this side and stay there until it passes, but Route A has taken days to clear and Maggie needs to get home to baby Hershel.
There's always Route D, as it's still early enough in the day. Gabriel's group will head back to Alexandria, while Rick and the others will head to the Sanctuary or Hilltop and stay there overnight.
And now there's a new problem: the horses can't carry the wagon through the mud. Maggie proposes leaving the supplies, and it's risky since herds have run through and destroy bigger things. They can always swap out the horses, split up, and let the horses rest. So who is going to pull the wagon?
Yup, the people are. And they aren't very good at it. However, they manage to get it across the mud just as some walkers arrive. Daryl and Michonne take care of them while the others get free whatever they can. However, one member, Ken, goes back to try and free the horses. He's bitten for his troubles. To add insult to injury, the horse kicks him. How rude.
So Enid, Siddiq, and Maggie inspect Ken's injuries, but he soon dies. I would be saddened by this if I actually knew who Ken was, but it's a big deal for Maggie, as she sadly delivers the blow to the brain that puts him down for good. Okay, so that was a death.
At the Hilltop, Maggie is forced to deliver the bad news to Ken's parents: Tammy Rose, played by Brett Butler, and Earl, played by John Finn. A heartbroken Tammy finds this hard to accept. After all, Maggie took her son out and now he's dead. And all there is to show is a broken plow.
Yes, that plow is important for the future, but Tammy is smart enough to know that it probably went to the Saviors. Maggie wants to help arrange a funeral, but Tammy makes it clear that even though she voted for Maggie, the two of them are not friends. She points out how Gregory has been saying that he put the Hilltop first, but Tammy knows that he's a scoundrel. However, he's no fool.
Tammy's son is dead and Maggie's son has no father. And now the Saviors eat the food that the Hilltop prepares. How is that right? Well, I hope that Tammy wasn't the deciding vote in the election.
So indeed, the entire Hilltop minus Maggie and baby Hershel gather for Ken's farewell.
Over at the Sanctuary, where Rick is seen as a downright god by some Saviors who hope that Negan is suffering, Eugene and Laura the new arrivals on things that require immediate attention. However, Rick and Daryl are still a bit sore about losing someone on the road.
Something else gets Michonne's attention and she calls Daryl over to see the words "Saviors Save Us" and "We Are Still Negan" on a wall. This has been happening more and more since the crops have been dying. And neither Jerry nor Eugene has any idea who did this. So Daryl instructs one Savior, Justin, played by Zach McGowan, to clean it up, but he can't because he's already used the paint. Well, figure it out.
Back at the Hilltop, Gregory delivers a eulogy for Ken, saying that he wasn't a fighter, but a good-hearted man. Men like him kept the Hilltop going and he will be remembered as a son, a friend, and a shining example of Hilltop's strength and fundamental decency, even in the face of this terrible tragedy.
Jesus is even impressed by Gregory's words, but this loss has taught Gregory to examine what we have and what we lack. He's just grateful for where he is.
Back at the Sanctuary, some of the Saviors are a bit antsy about their crops, given how storms will be coming soon. They need a boost, so luckily Rick informs them that they have returned with farming tools. They're all going to pitch in to get the Sanctuary back on its feet. It's enough to convince the Saviors, who even give Rick a round of applause.
He then heads up talk with Daryl, who tells him that he doesn't want to lead the Saviors anymore because he doesn't feel right being behind these walls again. He's better in the field. Still, Daryl kept people in line, so they can't let the Sanctuary fail, but Daryl feels that the Sanctuary is doomed. Nothing grows there. It is a factory, after all. When Negan was around, people provided for him. In Daryl's mind, that's still happening now.
Rick disagrees. They give what they give, but do so willingly. Daryl asks how long this will last. After all, most of the bridges are out because of the storm and the highway is done. They've scavenged every drop of gas for miles and they can't make enough corn fuel to run the vehicles. Soon enough, it will be more than a day's ride just from one stop to the other.
Rick feels that it's up to them to figure this out, but as far as Daryl is concerned, there is no us anymore. Everyone is everywhere now. Daryl thinks back to their small group in Atlanta. They could accomplish anything. That much Daryl knows. However, his plan isn't to return to Alexandria. He wants to head to the Hilltop to check on Maggie and her baby. If he does, someone has to take his place.
Eugene and Rosita are already headed to Oceanside, Maggie is sending food, but not people, and the Kingdom has its own problems trying to rebuild after losing its fighters. If Alexandria sends another person out, he could use the help back home. They aren't together because things have changed…because Rick changed them, as Daryl notes.
We return to the Hilltop, where Gregory presents a drink to Tammy and Earl, but they turn it down. Eventually, Tammy relents and has a drink. Earl later returns his wife to her bed, where she just wants to sleep. Gregory offers to sit with them if they would prefer that.
Back at the Sanctuary, Carol finally has a moment alone with Daryl and the first thing she does it put out his cigarette. Rude. She knows why Daryl isn't asleep- he doesn't sleep. Ezekiel, though, sleeps like a baby. Still, Daryl finds Ezekiel corny, but after what Carol went through with Ed, corny is perfectly fine. And Daryl is happy for her, as she's the one who definitely deserves to be happy.
Though Daryl doesn't like not seeing her. As for why Carol is here, she tells Daryl that she wants to take over at the Sanctuary. She's yet to announce this to Ezekiel or Henry. Carol then tells Daryl about Ezekiel's surprise proposal. Part of her wanted to say 'Yes' right there and then, but she wants to take her time and help out. Daryl offers to remain at the Sanctuary with Carol, but she's fine.
Earl lets out his sorrows to a listening Gregory, saying that his son didn't need to die. Where's the justice in that? To Gregory, Maggie thinks herself above the law. He brings up the election and points out that her buddy, Jesus counted the ballots. I mean, Jesus was your buddy at one point, Gregory, but okay.
Gregory's talked to a lot of people and there's a lot of dissatisfaction about the way things are going, but they're afraid to speak up. Even if it's not good for the Hilltop, the people will do whatever Rick says. Earl doesn't think there's much that can be done about that since Maggie is the one who makes the decisions. But one of those decisions lead to Earl's son dying.
Gregory is speaking plainly because, quite frankly, he's mad as hell. He doesn't like seeing the Hilltop's lives being treated like the price of doing someone else's business. Maggie might be the leader, but as far as Gregory is concerned, she doesn't have to be…
Rick and Michonne get ready for bed, with Michonne poking fun at Rick's newfound celebrity status in the eyes of the Saviors. She likes it, but knows that Rick won't let it get to his head. Neither of them wants to be Maggie right now. However, after seeing Negan's name on the wall, Michonne wonders whether they did the right thing leaving him alive instead of killing him.
Rick thinks about it as well, but he knows that killing Negan wouldn't have changed anything that they saw today. To Rick, the Saviors just want food. Michonne figures that maybe they need an agreement between the communities on how they treat one another and what happens when rules are broken. After all, it feels like the right time. They couldn't before because they were running and fighting.
Something like this could pull people closer together. After all, Daryl is worried about things breaking down. And he wouldn't say anything unless it was important. That much is true. But Rick figures that Daryl might care too much, even if there's a reason. Right now, the priority is fixing that bridge, so Rick will do that tomorrow and Michonne will work on drafting a Charter. Not Constitution, but a Charter.
As they blow out the lights, Rick wonders how he ever got so lucky finding a woman like Michonne. Good question. But to Michonne, they lost enough. Alright, let's cut away so these two can have their privacy.
In fact, let's go back to the Hilltop, where Maggie picks night as the perfect time to take baby Hershel for a walk. Gregory joins her and explains that he knows what it's like to be in a tough position like the one she's in right now. And he's not bitter about losing the election to a worthy adversary like Maggie. Good to know, I guess. It forced him to do some soul-searching.
Then he tells Maggie that apparently someone might have defaced Glenn's grave by accident. Maybe some kids that didn't know any better? But hey, probably no big deal, so he'll check it out tomorrow.
However, as Maggie goes to check it out right now, she's attacked by a mysterious assailant who manages to fight off Enid when she arrives. Soon enough, the figure is subdued by Enid, Maggie, and Alden and it turns out to be Earl.
A now bloody and pissed-off Maggie heads to Gregory, telling him off for being too much of a coward for not trying to kill her himself. He responds by pointing out that hey, he built the Hilltop and Maggie is just Rick's lackey, but Rick also ended the war, so he's got that. More than that, Gregory knows that Maggie won't go back to Alexandria because she knows who is still there.
And Gregory doesn't care about all the chances he's been given for all the shit he's pulled because, at the end of the day, he's still standing. He goes on the offensive and tries to stab Maggie, but she overtakes him. She does not, however, kill him.
It's finally daytime as we return to the Sanctuary as Carol bids farewell to Ezekiel and tells him that this isn't because of him. Her friends just need her help and she wants to be there for them. She then watches as Ezekiel and Jerry head off for the Kingdom.
Daryl, Rick, and Michonne arrive at the Hilltop, where they meet a bruised Maggie. When Rick and Maggie are alone- with baby Hershel, anyway- Rick notes that with Hershel getting older and she's going on runs again, he'd love for her to visit Alexandria sometime when she's ready. After all, Judith talks about Maggie all the time. But Maggie still can't. Plus, she knows that this isn't why Rick came here.
He needs her help fixing the bridge. The Hilltop is thriving thanks to her it's doing better than any other community and Maggie has been generous. The Hilltop has given her so much already, but Rick is asking for more. The Sanctuary is short on food and a project like this could take a lot of people and supplies. He's asking if Maggie will be generous again.
If people want to work on the bridge, then Maggie can't stop them, but she won't give up any more food or supplies without getting something in return. If the Sanctuary needs food, then fine, but they have to provide most of the labor on the bridge. Oh, and they can send over all the fuel from their corn. Rick isn't in favor of this since the Sanctuary is barely staying above water. The other communities are obliged to help.
But Maggie disagrees. After all, the Saviors are the ones who surrendered. And they weren't killed. She can't solve all of their problems when she's got a myriad of her own issues at the Hilltop. She's survived worse than what she just went through, but this has to stop. She reminds Rick that during the fight with the Saviors, Rick once said that one day, he'd be the one following Maggie. But he didn't.
Because Maggie wasn't someone to follow. That changes right now. With it getting dark soon, Maggie figures that it's time to put the children to bed.
That went well.
Later that evening, all of the Hilltop has assembled for Gregory's execution. She tells them that she doesn't want to do this, but at the Hilltop, the punishment fits the crime. She asks the punished if he has any final words. He tells Maggie that she's ashamed, but she disagrees.
Daryl slaps away the horse under Gregory just as some children arrive. It's too late for Michonne to yell that Maggie call it off as the children are rushed back inside. Maggie tells the Hilltop that she had to do this, but it isn't the start of something. She doesn't want to go through it again. She then orders Daryl to cut the body down. Gregory's lifeless body drops as the episode comes to a close.
This episode is aptly titled not just for its ties to the New Beginning arc in the comic, but also this season premiere feeling like a breath of fresh air for The Walking Dead. It is indeed a new beginning, but where's the fun and conflict if we just see society functioning without any problems?
This episode does a good job at reintroducing us to the familiar faces, introducing us to some new ones, and presenting a storyline where all seems well, but there's something bubbling under the surface that has no doubt been festering since the end of the war with the Saviors and Negan's downfall.
Just like that glass at the museum, cracks are already starting to appear and they will no doubt grow larger as conflicts escalate, but I do like that the episode takes its time introducing the various conflicts. The mission to D.C. gives us time to get reacquainted with the majority of the main players, gives them small moments of dialogue that flesh out their character, and felt reminiscent of the earlier seasons.
In fact, there were quite a few callbacks to Season One in this episode. Whether it's Carol mentioning Ed, Daryl remembering his time with Merle, or talking to Rick about what they used to be able to do back in Atlanta, it felt like a reminder of simpler, yet still violent times. Yes, the group was much closer knit back then since there was less of them, but now their numbers have expanded.
And with that brings a variety of opinions on how the world should be run. Rick is seen as a god to some, but he's just a man trying to do the right thing. To others, he's an obstacle or a person who doesn't go far enough. The decision to keep Negan alive is still fresh on people's minds, with some Saviors wishing that he suffers, while others apparently waiting for the Saviors to be the ones to save yet again.
It's an interesting divide between the Saviors, but makes sense because, as was established in previous seasons, not everyone at the Sanctuary was on board with Negan's ironclad rule. Some were just workers or ordinary people. But some remained steadfast and loyal to him. Some may still, if the writing on the wall is any indication.
Yes, he's still the black-leather jacket wearing elephant in the room, but even though we don't see him, Negan is still very present in this episode by virtue of the impact he had on the Saviors, but also the fact that Maggie refuses to visit Alexandria because Negan is there.
Given Maggie's words to Daryl and Jesus in the finale about showing him, you have to wonder what she's been doing as she bides her time. Has she just been giving him the cold shoulder? Obviously not because they've been working together, as this episode established, but she's not going to roll over and let Rick call all of the shots without some pushback.
And to be fair, she has a point. The Saviors were the ones who wanted war and those who surrendered were allowed to live. That's a mercy as far as Maggie is concerned. She won't budge more than she has to because she's got her own battles to fight at home, as this episode showed. That she goes ahead and kills Gregory shows that she's calling the shots, but also wants to put out any fires before they spread.
Side-note, and I only say this as a comic reader, but I did not expect Gregory's execution and assassination attempt to come this soon. The scenes work as far as setting up the conflict at the Hilltop and what will no doubt be opposition to Maggie's rule, but it was a surprise that I welcome. Though it is unfortunate that he's gone if just because Xander Berkeley was so great in the role.
It's surprising that Maggie hasn't just popped Gregory until now, given that she mentions he's been given plenty of chances for his behavior. Perhaps she hoped he would reform, but he's just been biding his time and, as we see, sowing the seeds of division among those who may not be on board with Maggie. And with Ken dead, Earl and Tammy are definitely not going to be voting for Maggie in a future election.
Speaking of, this is the one moment of the episode that I didn't like, not because it was a bad moment, but because it wasn't earned. We just met Ken and before we get a chance to know him, he's dead. Par for the course in this world, but the death doesn't feel as impacting to me as it does to Maggie because we barely know him. Why should I feel bad about the death of a character I haven't grown attached to yet?
Still, it works for setting up Maggie's conflict and how she can ask the Hilltop residents to help out when she could be sending them to their deaths. Maggie's definitely understanding the burdens of leadership and Lauren Cohan is great in showing Maggie's growing anger, but also frustration at what she's being asked to do when she's already lost so much.
I also like the idea of Daryl not wanting to be at the Sanctuary. He's spent so much time there as a prisoner that to be there again almost feels like being held captive again. More than that, his no-nonsense demeanor won't make him any friends among the Saviors. He accepts that Rick has changed things, but he won't fight a losing battle when, in his mind, the Sanctuary is already doomed.
Keeping with Daryl, I continue to enjoy the chemistry between Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride as Carol is continuing to carve out her own path, while still not forgetting those close to her. She's grown closer to Ezekiel as time has passed, but she's not ready to the the knot just yet, especially not on a horse.
And I like that her friendship with Daryl has continued to the point where Carol is one of the few people, I think, where Daryl can completely let down his guard. That's important when this guy isn't capable of uttering more than a few words when the story calls for it.
And then there's the fearless leader himself, Rick Grimes. He's focused on moving forward and being the leader that everyone needs, but at some point he has to realize that order is needed. Not in the way that Negan ran things, but some formal structure. That's hard to do when some people are divided, but he's willing to make it work, even in the face of opposition.
That said, I doubt he expected the pushback he received from Maggie, though he does tell Michonne that he still thinks about whether it was right to let Negan live. He wants order, but he just watched Maggie execute someone who, admittedly, did sort of ask for it. Can he count on others around him to keep things from breaking down, or are we about to see more cracks form in the new world?
"A New Beginning" takes its time reintroducing us to the world of The Walking Dead and reminded me of the slower-paced, character driven episodes of the earlier seasons. It establishes the new world, sets the stakes for bringing about formalized order, and shows us the various conflicts the characters will have to deal with as the season progresses.
It's a solid premiere that allows for scenes to breathe instead of rushing from one area to the next and is a good start for the new season. Looking forward to the rest of Season Nine.

A: You're using Facelets, which is basically the successor of JSP. It are two entirely distinct view technologies. The one is XML based and the other is Servlet based. You can't use JSP tags in Facelets, nor can you use Facelets tags in JSP.
You need to use Facelets' own <ui:include> instead.
<ui:include src="/WEB-INF/includes/foo.xhtml" />

Forget about JSP at all when developing with Facelets.

Q: Usage of rather In the following two sentences which one is correct regarding the usage of rather

Men are rather impressed by beauty then by character.

Men are impressed rather by beauty then by character.

I think the first one is correct. But in my book second one is correct, I don't understand how?

A: Firstly, it's "than", not "then".
As Kate Bunting mentions, the second example is valid, though rather old-fashioned and formal.
The first sort of sounds like it's trying to say:

Men are rather impressed by beauty.

"Rather" here just means "very".
One acceptable and common way to phrase what you're trying to say would be:

Men are impressed by beauty rather than (by) character.

Also note that the second "by", which I've bracketed, is optional.

A: To add to Chris's answer...
Even better to avoid using 'rather' here. So:

Men are impressed by beauty in a woman, not character

or

Men are more impressed by a woman's beauty than her character.

A:
Men are rather impressed by beauty than character.

Will rather be the right answer to your question.
Here rather is giving more emphasis on one over the other.

Q: C# immutable int In Java strings are immutable. If we have a string and make changes to it, we get new string referenced by the same variable:
String str = "abc";
str += "def"; // now str refers to another piece in the heap containing "abcdef"
              // while "abc" is still somewhere in the heap until taken by GC

It's been said that int and double are immutable in C#. Does it mean that when we have int and later change it, we would get new int "pointed" by the same variable? Same thing but with stack.
int i = 1;
i += 1; // same thing: in the stack there is value 2 to which variable
        // i is attached, and somewhere in the stack there is value 1

Is that correct? If not, in what way is int immutable?

A: To follow up on Marc's (perfectly acceptable) answer:  Integer values are immutable but integer variables may vary. That's why they're called "variables".
Integer values are immutable: if you have the value that is the number 12, there's no way to make it odd, no way to paint it blue, and so on. If you try to make it odd by, say, adding one, then you end up with a different value, 13.  Maybe you store that value in the variable that used to contain 12, but that doesn't change any property of 12. 12 stays exactly the same as it was before.

A: Although this may sound obvious I'll add a couple of lines that helped me to understand in case someone has the same confusion.
There are various kinds of mutability but generally when people say "immutable" they mean that class has members that cannot be changed.
String is probably storing characters in an array, which is not accessible and cannot be changed via methods, that's why string is immutable. Operation + on strings always returns a new string.
int is probably storing it's value in member "Value" which anyway is inaccessible, and that's why cannot be changed. All operations on int return new int, and this value is copied to variable, because it's a value type.

A: You haven't changed (and cannot change) something about the int; you have assigned a new int value (and discarded the old value). Thus it is immutable.
Consider a more complex struct:
var x = new FooStruct(123);
x.Value = 456; // mutate
x.SomeMethodThatChangedInternalState(); // mutate

x = new FooStruct(456); // **not** a mutate; this is a *reassignment*

However, there is no "pointing" here. The struct is directly on the stack (in this case): no references involved.

Лама́ркия () — монотипный род цветковых растений семейства . Род относится к трибе  подсемейства . Единственный вид — Ламаркия золотистая (), однолетнее травянистое растение, происходящее из Средиземноморья. Культивируется в качестве декоративного растения.

Род был назван в честь великого французского учёного-естествоиспытателя Жана Батиста Ламарка (1744—1829) ещё при его жизни, в 1794 году, немецким ботаником Конрадом Мёнхом.

Распространение
Растение распространено в субтропиках Средиземноморья и Передней Азии, встречается в сухих местах с песчаной и каменистой почвой, на склонах и осыпях.

Биологическое описание
Ламаркия золотистая — однолетнее травянистое растение высотой от 10 до .

Стебли прямостоячие или восходящие. Листья линейно-ланцетные, шириной от 1 до , светло-зелёные, слегка закрученные, образующие неплотные пучки.

Сложное соцветие — плотная более или менее односторонняя метёлка длиной от 2 до , похожая на щётку. Вначале соцветия имеют светло-зелёно-серебристую окраску, затем желтоватую (золотистую — с этим связано видовое название растения), иногда приобретают красноватый оттенок. Соцветия появляются последовательно, сменяя друг друга. Метёлка состоит из колосков, расположенных пучками по 2—6, из которых нормально развит лишь один колосок, с единственным обоеполым цветком, остальные же колоски в пучках стерильны. Длина нормально развитого колоска — от 2 до , стерильного — от 5 до . Стерильные колоски из-за многочисленных двухрядно расположенных нижних цветковых чешуй похожи на гребневидно рассечённые листочки.

Время цветения: конец весны — начало лета.

Число хромосом: 2n = 14.

Культивирование
Растение культивируется в качестве бордюрного декоративного растения, иногда выращивается в качестве почвопокровного растения на участках с сухой почвой. Соцветия ламаркии используются для составления сухих букетов. Растение в культуре с 1770 года.

 Агротехника
Растение нетребовательное к условиям произрастания, лучше всего растёт в хорошо дренированной (песчаной) почве в условиях прямого солнечного освещения. При достаточном увлажнении начинает цвести и плодоносить в очень молодом возрасте, высота растений в начале цветения может составлять всего несколько сантиметров.

Зоны морозостойкости — от 7 до 11.

Last week's Insight put a spotlight on five very successful and inspiring companies that make it their mission to make our world a better place while providing consumers with high-quality products.
Why are so many of these kinds of brands coming to life and growing so quickly? We think it's in response to several factors. First, the founders themselves care deeply about these causes – enough to give back, in many cases, a significant portion of their profits. Second, the founders have a vision to create a company with purpose that unifies their employees, suppliers and customers with causes they care about that align with the values of the brand. Third, the business strategy for these brands is meeting the needs of generation X, Y and now Z to help our planet and people in need. These brands therefore build a loyal customer base, which leads to positive reviews regarding their quality and service. No brand is perfect, and all brands are a work in progress. But these brands are trying harder to let their commitment to a bigger purpose drive their companies forward to delight their customers and to serve their world.
If you're still looking for the perfect holiday gift (or if you haven't started shopping yet), consider purchasing a gift that does more than put a smile on the face of the recipient. Give a gift that gives back this holiday season.
In addition to the outstanding products offered by Patagonia, Newman's Own, TOMS, Bombas, and Warby Parker – the five all-star brands we featured last week – there are many other cause-minded brands out there whose products make for memorable, meaningful gifts.
(Please note that Princeton Partners is not in any way affiliated with these brands – we just really admire what they're doing!
1. One Hope Wine
Pinot for Paws Woof! Gift Box, $59.99
Wines, coffee, and specialty gift boxes.
What do they support?
Each item is uniquely paired with a different cause. Buy a bottle of Chardonnay and support a clinical trial for a cure for breast cancer. Purchase a Pumpkin Spice Coffee Gift Box and fund clean drinking water for a community in need. For the animal lover, choose the Woof! Gift Box, which contributes to the cost of a pet adoption. Or, for the environmentalist, purchase a case of Sauvignon Blanc, which plants 6 trees. There are so many great gifts, and great causes, to choose from.
2. Love Your Melon
Black Speckled Natural Pom Beanie, $45
Knit beanies and scarves, plus home goods and other apparel.
What began as a movement to give a hat to every child fighting cancer has evolved into a business model in which 50% of profits are donated to the Love Your Melon Fund to support nonprofit partners in the fight against pediatric cancer, create therapeutic experiences and fund charitable programming initiatives for children and families battling cancer.
Shop online or find a store near you.
3. LSTN Sound Co.

7. L'Occitane supports UNICEF
